DELL - 2KH133-136 - 16TB 7.2K 6G 3.5inch SATA HDD

The DELL 2KH133-136 is a 16TB 7.2K RPM 3.5-inch SATA hard disk drive designed for capacity-focused enterprise storage. With a 6G SATA interface and LFF (3.5in) form factor, it is well-suited for bulk data, file services, backup repositories, and general-purpose server workloads where cost-per-terabyte matters.

This drive is a practical option for maintaining and expanding existing DELL infrastructures, especially in environments that rely on consistent media type and interface compatibility. For performance-sensitive tiers, you can complement large-capacity HDD pools with SSD in mixed storage designs.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment benefits for professional IT environments:

• 16TB capacity to consolidate large datasets and reduce the number of spindles required for bulk storage.
• 7.2K RPM spindle speed to balance throughput and cost for sequential and general-purpose workloads.
• 6G SATA interface to support broad compatibility across many server and storage backplanes.
• 3.5-inch (LFF) form factor to fit common enterprise drive bays and high-capacity chassis designs.
• SATA HDD media type to provide predictable behaviour for backup, archive, and nearline storage tiers.
• Suitable for RAID configurations to improve availability and data protection in multi-drive arrays.
• Designed for 24/7 enterprise operation to support continuous access in data centre and server room deployments.
• Good fit for lifecycle maintenance to keep legacy platforms operational without changing storage architecture.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished drives are commonly used by IT teams to extend the lifecycle of existing platforms, control budget compared to buying new, and reduce electronic waste.

All refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. For complete integration, consider matching installation hardware such as CADDY and storage management components like a RAID CONTROLLER when building or maintaining multi-drive arrays.
